PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.

you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.

to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. but you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out. (source)

it's end of year art summary season again and I would just like to extend my love to all the artists who can't make a standard flashy "one big piece per month" review. if you've got months where you only did small pieces, or didnt finish anything, or didn't draw at all, or didnt draw "good enough". everyone whos left feeling a bit lackluster after comparing their "year of art" to those around them...this one's for YOU! we rule!

people NEED to stop gatekeeping making music like ohhhh i don’t have an instrument ohhhhh i don’t know music theory ohhhhh i’m not gonna pay for some program. SHUT UP. take my hand.

you need NONE of that shit!!!!! there’s a website called beepbox.co. literally all you have to do is press things until it sounds a modicum of nice. it’s easy it’s free and it works on anything which has a browser because it’s a website.

if even ONE person starts making music bc of this post it will be worth it.

making bad music is just as important and okay as it is to write badly or draw badly or sing badly. you AREN’T BEHOLDEN TO MAKE GOOD MUSIC. making music is not utilitarian HAVE FUN. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!

found these on twitter that might be helpful to all rpers who want to make sure their themes and carrds are accessible to all

#reblog #not art #some additions: #1. tiny fonts are not cute they are very hard to read #2. sans serif fonts can be easier for some people #3. white text on black can actually be harder to read for some people #4. there’s no one size fits all for accessibility

Three ships: The Going Merry, the Thousand Sunny, and -- kidding. Any time someone asks me this I forget everything I'm into but I am very fond of Lae'zel / Shadowheart lately, and some OC ships.

First ever ship: I don't remember? It might've been Zack / Cloud actually and that was mostly based on ship art because I didn't have a way of actually interacting with FF7 for years

Last song: I think it might have been From a Place of Love by Mili? I really haven't forgiven Project Moon but the moment this song plays is so insane that I was trying to find it again --

Last Movie: I haven't actually watched a movie in a few weeks - I think it might've still been Train to Busan actually ...

Currently reading: Listening to the audiobook of The Final Empire and losing my mind over how good it is. There's thought! There's emotionally resonant scenes! My friends who got into this stuff before me are amused by my suffering (that's a joke).

Currently watching: Pluto (need to finish, I've got one ep left), Paradox Live, and Undead Unluck. Planning to start the Scott Pilgrim anime soon, and there's some KDramas I've been wanting to check out, too.

Currently consuming: Black coffee...

Currently craving: Salt and vinegar or just like, anything with a really strong flavor honestly. People who are aware of the Hell Ramen Incident DO NOT interact--

Tagging: If you see this, you're tagged! Good luck!! ll

I like games like this but I hope no one's like "aw man, this guy's just spamming random stuff instead of posting art, why am I even here?" help -- still alive, still on hiatus.

#I actually never know who to tag because I don’t want to make people uncomfortable + a lot of my mutuals like #are tagging each other already…. #tag game #not art #txt

Most annoying part about this whole situation is now I'm stuck seeing takes like "maybe we WERE too mean to staff" and "you know, paying for the subscription wouldn't be so bad" as if the only problem people have with this site is like, tumblr live and the odd annoying ui change.

Working on a path…

#acnh #what do I tag this even #it’s technically my art but it’s not like my art my art #txt #?????

wait guys. reblog this and tell me what the last movie you watched was. bonus points if you add a short review <333

#i kind of went on this big horror binge and lost track #last rewatch was train to busan #last new movie was either audition (1999) or seoul station #train to busan is one of my favorite movies and trying to review it feels wrong— it’s good and I like it…. #seoul station was Okay. had interesting ideas and more animated horror is a plus. could not name one character. #audition was a painful slow burn in a good way. cinematography went hard. i liked it #not art #reblog #I’ll make a personal I’m still on hiatus and bored

I really love this part in pandaemonium

#reblog #ffxiv #others art #6.4 spoilers #i literally haven't finished the raid series yet bc i'm having trouble organizing everyone's collective braincells but i'm so

I'm alive, I made a post on Twitter a while back about this but I really don't check here as often as I should --

I'm having a lot of trouble with art (combined burnout, frustration with my style and how the studies - most of what I've been doing these days - are going, and a host of other stressors) and I don't feel very confident in my personal work right now. I don't want to officially announce a hiatus because I'm not sure myself if things are at that level, but I'm also not sure what to do right now.

#txt #not art #tldr; vision issue turned out to be a spatial reasoning issue. no one i know has been able to figure out how to help #and that's not to discount their help! it's nice that people are trying and i always appreciate it #but i've been especially frustrated as of late and it's to the point where even studies are now extremely stressful

i have a few resources i look to consistently but i'm gonna plug anatomy for sculptors as One Of The Most Useful. great if you're a 3D artist, INVALUABLE if you're a 2D artist. gives you turnarounds of specific limbs/fiddly body parts like ears. great especially if you're referencing a photo and start looking at an individual part like 'wait, what the hell is going on in there'

big fan of when grief drives characters to do fucked up things that are ultimately pointless and do more harm than good rather than just like. going to therapy

#reblog #txt #i don’t have a character to tag I’m just also a big fan

[malaquill]

Yeahhh I’m taking down my Project Moon stuff, it sucks because it got some traction (!!!) but I don’t really want to be attached to it right now - sorry!
